*NEW* Swift Challenger Exclusive Caravan Range 2024
The Challenger Exclusive range offers 9 excellent layouts on single and twin axles and with several 8ft wide models. These are well equipped mid to high end caravans, with Alde heating, good payloads and good levels of equipment as standard. Swift have certainly put some thought in to their 2024 range across all models and the Challenger Exclusive is certainly worth a look.
In addition, I have since been informed that the silver sided panel is within the paint and GRP and isn’t a decal. This means it should not fade and is easier to repair. Thanks Matt Holmes at Swift for this information.
You can discover the full range on the Swift website https://www.swiftgroup.co.uk/caravans/product/57805/swift-challenger-exclusive/

Hello and welcome back to here we to today I’m at the great holiday home show in harut and I’m continuing with my review content in this Vlog I’m going to be showing you the new Swift Challenger exclusive now the Challenger exclusive uh there’s nine layouts altogether in
This range they look quite an exciting uh new version of the standard Challenger SE they’ve got a couple of little upgrades prices start around £31,000 as I say there’s nine layouts of which which five are 8 ft wide and the other four are just a standard width
There’s a mixture of twin axle and single axle there’s three on display here today so I’ll show you those two are single axles and one is a twin axle but we’ll have a look see what features are on offer all the facts and figures
Will be below I’ll put a link uh to the Swift website but let’s get cracked on so got a nice big Swift tent there let’s start with the Swift Challenger exclusive 560 so this one’s a standard width model not 8T wide now what’s new on this Challenger exclusive ranges
They’ve got a couple of extra options you get a solar panel on the roof but what they’ve done differently if we can see on the sides it’s the decals so if you can see down here we’ve got a silver decal what there’s a little bit strange
Is that they’ve got they still left it white at the bottom it’s almost like a strip but it’s sort of the most first silver thing Swift have done G so we have got some color you’ve got various points on these models we’ve got a a gas barbecue Point here then we’ve got two
30 volt and a television hookup Point here we can just see those utilities there a large storage box so the 560 as I say this one’s a single axle if you look on the website you’ll see the uh the other models are available you are getting alloy wheels as standard with an
Alco wheel lock receiver the back is it’s pretty standard for the Swift with the standard light cluster it has got the two lay um installation there for the bike carrier silver grab handles we’ll come down the offside we’ve got another storage locker there and then you can see the toilet cassette Point
Toilet flush filler dtic vents for the fridge freezer so that uh tells us Well’s going to find Dometic in there another battery box and then we’ve got our water here and then we do also have a truma external shower point there and then the Alder vent so looks like we’ve
Got Alda wet central heating on board let’s go and have a look at the inside of the 560 so as we venture in it’s a one piece door we do have a bin we’ll go in I’m quite excited to see this to be honest the pictures I’ve seen look quite
Nice yeah this is nice so we’ll start here now what you’ll find I’ll just explain this to you when you look on the website for this Swift exclusive if you see an L it actually means it’s going to have an L-shaped Lounge I think there is
An L-shaped um on display which we will look at so that’s what that means just in case you’re wondering so this is the lounge area um we’ve got a nice of oatmeal cover color uh sofa I do like this little back here it’s like a suedette effect lots of little LED
Lights and storage big sunroof the lights and there is a chest with the the table integrated in it and then we’ve got this s beige oatmeal carpeting as well which is down the carpets will come as standard curtains and these little boards fabric boards are nice let’s just
Have a look inside some of the cupboards have a look at the cupboard space not bad this color here this is almost like um a beigey color as well i’ I’d actually say it’s more sort of latte these feel quite nice and solid as well
So that’s good to see um down here we’ve got USB Chargers and a wireless charger as well so we’re getting some uh newer features and over in this corner there is a plug socket now we’ll look down so obviously this is a single birth car single axle Caravan so it’s not as long
It is for birth this front here will convert kitchen we’ve got a little flap this is quite a nice work toop nice feel to it the smaller dtic under counter fridge and freezer then we’ve got some draw space little Cutlery draw there let’s see what’s in this one this is
Just going to probably be a little oh that’s nice we’ve got a pullout unit I think you all know I do like a pull out unit nice to see especially you know these Caravans now not cheap at uh starting prices so we want lots of stuff
Let’s have a look up here that’s good so we’ve got racks there and we do have a microwave and coming down we’ve got the nice splashback there seem to be a lot of birds I don’t know whether you can see here that’s on the decals as well um
So yeah the swift bird then we’ve got the fford gas hob I’m guessing that might be electric under there yeah so you’ve got an electric plate three gas burners Grill and oven and then on this near side where we’ve come in there’s a little bit of storage and mirror space
Your television is obviously going to go here we’ve got plug sockets the aerial we’ve got up here the Alder control the Swift control panel right so that’s the lounge area this is quite nice I like this this is nice let’s go through the magic door and
See what we’re getting here oh this is nice right okay let me turn you around so I’ve opened the door that you can see there’s a big mirror there so what we’ve got here is the central washroom but it’s the one where you can access both
Sides to get to the bedroom I really like this layout um it’s a long time since I’ve seen it so this is exciting for me um you can see on the mirror there don’t you see that it says exclusive big glass mirror not a not a
Bad size sink swivel tap bit of storage fford toilet and then this is a good size let me see if I can work out how to get into this without breaking it there we go it’s a push everything’s different and every time I go in I’ve got to work
It out right good size cupboard there I’ll just close that up now let’s see the shower cuz that’s always important right that’s not bad um let me in it’s got It’s good amount of Headroom there’s some shelving which I always like to see a bit of intrusion on the
Footw uh on from the foot from the wheel Arch Sorry God foot Wells wheel arches let me step in yeah not bad and this door obviously slides so not a bad shower at all that’s a very usable shower um it’s always benefit if you do use your onboard facilities aler uh
Radiator and then we’ll just have a look at this island bed so Island bed on the back wall That’s obviously the back wall of the Caravan there nice headboard duvet mattress these are amazing these are the best mattresses going in my opinion um there’s wardrobes at either
Side which are mirrored and there’s some storage underneath so I’ll quick look in one of these just see how much storage we’re getting oh the table in there as well for the lounge area good size wardrobe that’s a good depth um and there’s some little LED lights under
Here and they’ve got USB charges in as well so on both sides so that’s really good I don’t know the sizes of the beds always check because Swift the one thing they always let them size SS down on is the the length the length of the beds
Generally 6 feet long which is no good for a lot of people so so do have a look on the website um you can have a television in here look as well you’ve got socket and uh plug in there right so I’ll just have a quick swing around the
Bedroom again so you can see that in the 560 the washroom the kitchen and that Lounge area so that is the 560 Swift ex uh Challenger exclusive yeah I like that we’ll carry on now we’ll have a look at a different layout this is the 580 I’m not going to go all
The way around the outside again cuz we’ve just uh we’ve just done that on the 560 but this is the 580 layout you can see there again the silver sides the decals and this is what I mean about the birds I don’t know if you can see it on
There the birds on there again so this model is 33,785 um it’s 7 fo6 wide and it’s 7.63 m long you can up plate if you want more payload um again facts and figures on the website so let’s go into the 580 we’ve got the same lounges we’ve just
Seen in the 560 this is a really Cozy Lounge um to be be honest really cozy I do like that we’ll swing around and have a look at the kitchen so the kitchen is the same as we’ve just seen the flaps up on here so it gives you an idea but this
One is open plan as you can see we’re going straight into the bedroom we’ve got a transverse Island bed and this one it does um slide back it’s currently in it it’s retracted into day mode so you can see the floor space around it we’ve got here we’ve got a plug socket little
Bit of storage we have got a good size wardrobe and that’s got the Alder tank in really good size wardrobe there couple of cupboards above little bit of wardrobe space on the other side and you can see over there we’ve got the entrance into the washroom which we’ll
Look at there is a privacy screen as well just here so you can close the bedroom off from the living area just coming into the bedroom on the offside we’ve got a little cupboard there and a mirror some shelving a nice window for a new bed you can look out got the fly
Screens and blinds and this door obviously slides across but if we go into the washroom it’s the thatford swivel toilet the cupboard that we saw in the other ones cupboard space shelving uh we’ve got the Alder sink and good size mirror I’ll just show you that there and then a good size shower
Cubicle now that’s really good that is huge um and there is also a shelf there not a bad size sink right so that’s the 580 layout I’ll spin you around in a second this one is much more open PL as you can see um the only
Problem is if you are wanting to use this as a for birth with the rear washroom on a night if people want to use the toilet like you’ve got children or your C and you’re sleeping up there you do have to come through the bedroom area but it’s a nice open plan layout
And to say it’s only 7 foot6 that actually feels um quite spacious right what I’ll do is I’ll head on now to the third model of the Challenger exclusive range that’s on show as I say nine layouts and these are looking good but this is the Challenger
Exclusive 650 L okay so let’s Venture in and have a Clos look so this is the 650 L and it is the 8T wide model the grand model so let’s go in and see what we’re getting so this one it is just under £40,000 it’s 8T wide and it’s just under
8 m long and Weight Wise you can up plate it up to 2,000 kilos if you want so this can go pretty heavy which is going to give you much more uh payload right let’s go in okay so what I like about this with it having the L that
Means it’s got the L-shaped Lounge which you can see here some people like L-shaped and some don’t but what it does give you is an amazing amount of floor space and with this being 8T wide you’re getting plenty of room so we’ve got the wall here which is where your
Television’s going to go along here so you do lose a window but you’re you can have a really good size Telly you’ve got the sunroof and the windows then we’ve got the L shape and to be fair we do have a good size window here on the offside plenty of
Storage the kitchen we’ve got the extended worktop the nice sink and we’ve got a bit of drawer space here as we can see and if I just open under here we’ve got a basket um 40,000 I’d like to see a basket so that’s nice I’ll just close that up now
Above we’ve got the cupboard space again the microwave and then we’ve got the fford gas Rings electric ring uh Grill and oven and then on the near side where we’ve come in we’ve got a plug socket a mirror we’ve got our control panels for the Alder and the Swift and then we’ve
Got a big dtic tower fridge freezer here so I’ll just open this up so this is a good size this is 140 to 150 lers as far as I know salad tray at the bottom so really good size for a family of four or a couple if you’re away a while little
Storage cupboard there where we’re going to find the table for the lounge um we’ve got the extractor vent just there then we go through this door and we’ve got this Center washroom and we’ve got the layout I like again we’ll start on the off side of the Caravan big
Mirror as we can see some lighting above it we’ve got the sink under cupboard storage don’t know if I can whether this one’s a push one there we go oh so there’s a good amount of storage in there toilet rolls and then we’ve got the fford swivel toilet the cupboard
Again for storage then we’ve got another mirror here so the mirror is quite a good feature because it makes the Caravan SE much bigger as well when you’ve got mirrors good design feature bit of storage good amount of floor space and I do like this dark floor uh
Nice flooring near side we’re finding the shower cubicle same as the 560 by the look of it but again good size then we’ve got the Alder radiator and then we head into the bedroom so the bedroom just out so you do know there are privacy doors so uh you do have privacy
You can uh turn the bathroom into a proper little on Suite bedroom we’ve got the bed the on the rear wall of the Caravan nice headboard again like a suede effect got wardrobe storage we’ve got wardrobes on both sides there’s USBS as well and if I turn
Around again you can see there is somewhere to put your television as well so this is the 650l it’s a twin axle uh it’s 8 ft wide and it’s £40,000 so this is a this is actually really nice to be fair right let’s venture out so there we go we’ve had a very
Brief look at three of the Swift Challenger exclusive models um there are plenty more to see but they’re just not here today unfortunately so I haven’t been able to do any more but if you’re interested I’ll put a link in the description below it be nice to have a
Look at them and I’d say yeah put these on your list they’re definitely worth having a look at um I’m quite impressed so there we go so as always thanks for watching and I’ll see you in the next one

Great video we’ve ordered the 560 mid bathroom looking forward to start enjoying the van .
I particularly like decals and the reminder of the Model name on both sides 😊
Do you think its a strange place to store the table so far back in the van ? I thought so .
I prefer the L shaped sofas and the place for the tv ,
1st RV Swift 560 very nice, wish they sold them in NA.
580 layout even better, love it. Should add a flip up table under window to use as desktop, sit on bed and work or play.
650L is my favorite, but stove little close to wall, hard to centre bigger pots and pans. Like the tall fridge/freezer. I'd like bigger shower for tall guys as well seat back rest to be taller, I guess you could customize those for $$$$
You do an excellent job on your reviews.😊
❤
Not very keen on the kitchen area opening directly into the toilet area.
Interesting that only curtains on the front!
We have a 560 and youre correct about the size of the bed, i'm 5ft11 and the bed is too short, actually wish i had got the 580 instead as my feet are touching the bathroom wall
